Hand Baggage is accepted in the cabin subject to the availability of space in the overhead bin or under the Customer’s seat. In the event where a hand bag is over-sized or over-weight, IndiGo may require transfer of Hand Baggage to the Baggage compartment of the aircraft prior to take-off. In such cases, a Customer’s Hand Baggage will be specially tagged and returned upon arrival, and the same can be collected from the conveyor belts where Checked Baggage is normally received. In the event the Hand Baggage is transferred to the Baggage compartment due to increased weight over and above what is permissible for Hand Baggage, Customer shall be liable to make payment of the excess baggage to IndiGo at then applicable rate per kilo gram for the excess baggage.

As per Bureau of Civil Aviation Security (BCAS) guidelines, travelling Customers may carry maximum 7 Kg’s of Hand Baggage (which would include Laptop and duty free shopping bags), with an additional restriction on maximum size of hand baggage not exceeding 7.0 kg and of dimension – length 55cm + width 35cm + height 25cm respectively. Customers accompanying infants are allowed an additional piece of Hand baggage weighing up to 7Kgs, not exceeding the above size. In case hand baggage is found to be overweight at the boarding gate a flat rate of INR 250 per kg per sector would be charged towards excess hand baggage.

Items determined by us to be of excessive weight or size, or of an offensive nature, will not be permitted on board. Subject to the prevalent applicable local laws and regulations, Customers may take liquids on board in their Hand Baggage, subject to screening and security checks, and provided they meet the following restrictions:

  • The liquid is in a container with a maximum volume of 100ml.
  • All liquid containers meeting the maximum volume of 100ml each can be fitted comfortably into a transparent, re-sealable 1 litre plastic bag.

Due to airport security regulations, no Hand Baggage is allowed on any flights from Jammu and Srinagar airports.

If a Customer wishes to carry an oversized item on board, which will fit safely in a seat, he/she must purchase an additional seat on that flight, subject to availability and applicable fares. IndiGo reserves the right to refuse to carry any large pieces which we feel may present a safety risk.

Free Checked Baggage Allowance (applies per adult and child, does not apply to infants):

  • Regular Fare – 15 kgs (Domestic)
  • Return Fare – 15 kgs (Domestic)

The dimensions of the Checked Baggage should not exceed 158 cms (62 inches) in overall dimensions (L + W + H).

Upon delivery of the Customer’s Baggage which the Customer wishes to check in on IndiGo, IndiGo upon being satisfied with its condition (in accordance with the provisions of the Conditions of Carriage) will take custody of, and issue a Baggage identification Tag for, each piece of Checked Baggage.

This fee will be applied over and above any Excess Baggage charges that might be applicable. The fee will apply per piece of checked in baggage, per Sector, (inclusive of service tax and cess, if applicable). The weight of such baggage will be considered part of the permissible baggage allowance and standard excess baggage charges, if applicable, will be levied.

  • Maximum two (02) LCD / LED TVs can be carried by one Customer in checked in baggage.

Carriage of fire arms is subject to production by Customer of all clearances and permissions required by regulators or under applicable laws.

Checked Baggage will, whenever possible, be carried on the same aircraft as the Customer, unless IndiGo decides for safety, security or operational reasons, to carry it on an alternative flight. If the Checked Baggage is carried on a subsequent flight, IndiGo will deliver it to the Customer, unless applicable law requires the Customer to be present for customs clearance.

IndiGo does not connect Baggage to other airlines. Customers deplaning from one IndiGo aircraft and boarding another airline or vice versa must collect their Checked Baggage and report to other airline. Customers must ensure that there is enough time gap between two flights while making a Booking involving a change of airplanes or carriers at a point of Stopover. IndiGo will not be liable in any manner, if the Customer misses his/her connecting flight as a result of any delay in IndiGo’s flight due to any reason whatsoever. IndiGo accepts check-in baggage for connection onto its own flights provided the Customer has booked a Connecting Segment as defined in these Conditions of Carriage.

Skis, golf bags, large musical instruments, bicycles, surf boards, and other such large and/or odd-sized checked bags will be subject to a fee of $16/Rs. 1000 per piece of equipment. Items weighing more than 12 kg must be checked as excess baggage.
